Well the last two days got rid of the silly detachable tow bar and replaced all the rusty bits with nice sand blasted painted bits and a new heavy duty hayman reece bar
rusty bit

You could tidy up the rear box on the exhaust while you are under there

that would be pushing it, painting it just to look nice no I dont think so

it will only get dirty again any way

Sounds like a thread starter to me - it will flush out the OCD's

Nice job Ziggy, do you do a lot of beach driving to get it all this rusty?

I would tend to insist on the exaust repaint, a rusty or dirty box is quite unpleasant on the L322 as it visually stands out a lot.

Semi high pressure wash, Scotch Brite rub, Hi temp or regular satin spray paint and off you go. Ditto for suspension wishbones, while you are at it... calipers... ho... I know I got carried away !!!

Watched it breakdown as the alternator died, wish I'd never had it serviced as it has had to have the low pressure fuel pump replaced, ATF changed and now the alternator  2005 Range Rover Vogue with Supercharged Accessories

G'Day Verydisco

No cobber not yet this is the car we brought over from the UK so all the rust underneath is down to the salt the pommies throw on the road

We go up to stockton and Myall Lakes a fair bit driving on the beach but the motors always get a pressure wash underneath thanks to the local quarry as there trucks have to go over a power wash before they go out on the road

I only wish I had the patience to get mine looking as good as yours but now were back home its bloody hard to keep it clean when you through bales of hay and lucerne in the bac along with the goats and sheep
Maby I can convince the cook to clean it if only

I helped change the alternator on my Discovery 1 V8 last summer. It was nice and easy to find right on top of the engine. When the FFRR needed a new one, I asked where it was. I didn't need time to consider and let the mechanic do it himself!

Replaced a defective side repeater, a cracked reflector, pulled out the Piano wood trim from the console for a nice polish with the Meguiar's DA polisher.

Very impressed with your wishbone painting vdisco...

Do you do the tow hook with that method too?

No, as it was not needed but did use Autoglym Vinyl & Rubber Care in it. l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l
